I iove the way you make picture frames. What size wood were you usinging. Thanks Bobby
Cool, actually sizing is what I do to end grain. I like that sled too, how did you make it please?
Thanks for the sizing tip!
I’ve been framing my photos for a while now and have learned to add 1/16” to each side of the frame making the frame 1/8” larger overall than the mat. The reasoning for this is that most mats are made of paper and paper like wood expands and contracts with humidity. It must have room to do so or it will buckle in the frame. I’ve had this happen. Great video!
I noticed on one of the corners there was evidence of a nail/brad but didn't see any reference to nailing the corners -- did I miss something? This was at about 3 minutes when you were using the sander.
